Default 2018 Taylor 322e X-braced or V ?

Hello all,

I got chance to play this yesterday:

https://www.guitarcenter.com/Used/Ta...tric-Guitar.gc

Does anyone know if this has the V-class bracing? I've read that Taylor switched to that for the 322's but not sure where this one stands. Either way it sounded great to me...

Thanks in advance

Most likely it is an X braced model. It is my understanding that the V-class series comes with a BLACK nut. The one in this photo has a white nut. [See image in link for photo of current v model]

Yes it's an X braced model as Vindibona1 mentioned the white nut distinguishes it from a V braced model.

Also in any V braced Taylor you can see a back brace through the sound hole

I own the cutaway,V braced version of this guitar. It's also a 12 fret. It is so responsive that I can just play it with my thumb on the couch and it drowns out the sound of the TV. It is also light as a feather. I just can't put it down.
